Anil Saini, 32 years of age with progressive baldness (going upto NW 5), joined Eugenix Hair Sciences, Delhi/NCR as a medical counsellor. Soon he realised that without hair it is only “theoretical” to try to impart the knowledge upon the prospective patients over phone/mails and not wise from sales point of view to meet the patients in person in side the office. (Like a plump guy can not be a gym trainer, a bald guy might not appeal to patients as a representative of a hair restoration centre.)

Soon he was in the operating room, for his hair restoration procedure! His affair was of one day. Meticulous planning was made to keep a customised, smart, relevant & practical hairline for ever, which would suit his face at 50-60-70 years of age, keeping in mind the ongoing progression of the baldness and retaining the donor bank for the future need. Close to 3000 grafts were placed on his bald frontal and temple area. Adequate Fronto-Temporal angle was kept aligning with the shape of the nose, chin, frontal bones and the eyebrows. Thin, slow growing and lighter hair follicles were chosen to create the “Hairline Zone” and the temple area. Upto 400 single hair grafts were placed in the hairline and 150 single hair grafts were placed on each temple. These “selected singles” were harvested meticulously from the nape of the neck and area above the ear to match the intending “baby hair” look on the front and temples. Some of the doubles were dissected into singles under the microscope of 20 X magnification by the most expert hands in the team. Anil was asked to start tablet Finasteride 1 mg daily to prevent the ongoing baldness along with minoxidil lotion. (He revealed that he is only upon Finasteride and due to cumbersomeness he is not using the lotion!) Result: The hair started growing up within first month and the first hair cut was by 3 months. (This is not un-usual at Eugenix to experience the phenomenon of very early hair growth of the planted grafts, without even going through the accepted “Telogen Effluvium” phase! This phenomenon happens at Eugenix, more often than not, due to the 1) Direct Hair Transplantation, DHT technique, wherein there is least “out of body time” for the grafts in combination with 2) “No Root Touch” concept. Due to these two “religious principles” in hair restoration, at Eugenix, we could avoid ischaemia, traumatic challenge and hence the over all “Shock” to the transplanted grafts and very often we witness an early growth, as early as by one month, without going through the universal Telogen phase of shedding of the transplanted hair. Since Anil is in-house with Eugenix, his everyday progress has been documented by high quality pictures, under the direct supervision of Dr Pradeep Sethi and Dr Arika Bansal! (To be honest, the doctor duo are very fanatic about every details of the procedure and more so in documenting it well.) So, we have got a huge library of the journey of Anil’s hair transplant upto 6 months now. The “out of the park” result of Anil has enabled him to have a fresh non bald life with renewed enthusiasm. He takes pride in the fact that “no one can make out that he has got a procedure done!”
